What is considered hazardous waste?

Paying fines

Litter fines should be paid within 28 days from the date the ticket was issued. See the paying us section for the various methods to pay.

A reminder notice will be sent if payment is not made within 28 days. If payment is not made within 28 days after the reminder notice is sent, the infringement is sent to the court and court costs will be added to your fine. You will then be required to pay your fine through the court.
